[Vwdiesel] timing belt change

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Well I tackled the timing belt on the 04 PD jetta today.  Now I know why they charge so much for this job!!  I am getting too old for this kind of stuff!  :^(  Used a kit that included new bolts, water pump etc.  Took me about 6 hours as I took everything slow and steady and took multiple breaks to let my back rest.  Car runs great and even seems to be a bit peppier than before.  Oh well, off to take some Tylenol!!!  Hayden

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
